Do you experience aching, fatigued, and heavy feeling legs? Do you feel a throbbing, burning, or stabbing feeling in your legs after extended periods of time on your feet? You could have a venous disease. Even cramping, swelling, itching, restlessness, and ropey or bulging veins in the legs are associated with venous diseases. Varicose veins are a sign of a venous insufficiency and other vein disorders. If left untreated you may be at an increased risk for blood clots, skin color changes, and ulcer formation. If both of your parents have or had varicose veins, you have an 89% chance of developing varicose veins. This means that you are 89% likely to have a venous disease or disorder that could lead to blood clots and drastically effect your quality of life.
